  1. And Jesus and Mohammed aren't responsible for a fraction of the deaths as Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Hitler, Mussolini, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge, Idi Amin, Tojo, and other atheistic notables...
  2. Happy B'Day!!!
  3. Please... I'm not going to dance attendance to your demands... 4 total penalties out of two podunk teams. Figure it out.
  4. And NYJ had 3. My guess is that this ref crew decided to keep their flags in their pockets, for reasons unknown. http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/gamecenter/5...UF_Gamebook.pdf
  5. ABC News...
  6. It does - if a Peyton Manning is on the board. Perhaps a Palmer, but Palmer isn't good enough to win big games by force of his personality. I've watched his entire pro career - IMO, he's not especially bright, and since the cheapshot '05 knee injury, he tosses a high ball. Accurate, powerful, but often high. He is very dependent on timing plays - he brings the young receivers to his home to work out in the off-season. Whenever you detect that Palmer is calling an audible, 9 times out of 10, it's a deep hand-off left. Which all defenses know. Splat. He's done better this year, though. Usually, 2 minutes and down by a score, the play is a 30 yd+ fade along the right sideline, and an interception. I wow my wife by predicting such through the years.
  7. I'm surprised that some of his teammates haven't folded him up and stuffed him down the commode.
  8. Cut 'em and get TE back in!
  9. The now 8-3 Bungles didn't dump him. Despite leading the league in games lost by starters last season. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...in.34d3911.html Sorta like the situation that BUF's QBs have had to face this year - eh? BUF ponied up a price that CIN couldn't match, what with so much of their QB contract $$$ tied up with Palmer. They very much would have liked to have kept him on their club. Fact. For F's sake, as you say.
  10. Kermit, Bert, Ernie, Elmo, Big Bird.
  11. They can't afford to grab whatever hot-shot QB is there when they draft. Sell off the 1st round, then pick some OLs, a couple of LBs. They probably are out of the running for any top-name DEs and DTs - too bad, but they dug their own grave. Pick that wow-wee QB that somehow dropped to the 6th, and while they are at it, spend a luxury 5th or so on a FB that blocks - and dare to play him. Fat chance there, I know. Mardy Gilyard would be a fine, needed, and totally wrong pick. I'd see what Lankster can do as a PR. AFAIK, he's been on the 53 man enough, so he can't be put onto the PS.
  12. Is this related to the definition of what "is", is?
  13. I love hearing a story with a beautiful ending!
  14. I lean towards Intel, because through the years, I tend to think Intel'satech support is better - not calling them, just reading the site and it's resources. I've had a couple of desktops - and one laptop with an AMD processor, with no problems, though. I don't currently own a laptop. If I did, my usage would be similar to yours. I have an Acer monitor purchased a month or so ago - so far, so good. And an old Gateway 366MHz Celeron tower purchased new in 1997, that soldiers on as a spare. Of course, that's an eternity, and much has changed - that the fact that that old girl still runs is pretty much meaningless. Are you planning on this laptop to be your main computer? If so, I'd buy one of those cooling devices, and if portability is a factor that matters, I'd spend some time searching about either products' battery life, and check out to see if there is a big $$ difference if a batt. replacement becomes necessary. I did read - a year or so ago - that Acer loads a software suite onto their laptops that some folks found objectionable. That might be the case with a Gateway - dunno. Either way, that might be just me - I like a system as clean as possible, and for many, the pre-loaded stuff works out just fine. You don't seem to be in the market for an earth-shattering system, more to purchasing a main-stream item, so my guess is that you will be happy with either choice. The usual things apply, desktop vs. laptop...a HW problem that can get fixed for 50 bucks, a hundred bucks on a desktop can run considerably more on a laptop.
  15. What Ralph did re drafting Lynch isn't uncommon. Every owner wants to fill the stands, and a 1st round rb definitely excites the customer base. It's not always the right way to go in the long run, certainly. Look at the CIN owner Brown (arguably, of the same philosophy as Ralph). Traded up, and drafted Ki-Jana Carter over Boselli. Got Dillon, and spent $ for a very good run-block line - pass blocking, no. Drafted Kenny Irons #2, a few years back..with a then very effective Rudi Johnson on the team. Irons unfortunately suffered a career-ending freak injury his 1st game on the field. Insisted on qb Akili Smith despite NO's Ditka ponying up his entire draft to grab Ricky Williams.
  16. Good points. I don't know, but my guess is that folks in TOR and on the Niagara Peninsula get a good share of AFC East programming. Perhaps a NFC opponent might increase the gate.
  17. Johnson and Hardy were inactive. It surprised me that Parrish was active, though - Iguess they still have hope for a big punt return - dunno.
  18. 249 rush yards for NYJ - ouch.
  19. 9th punt in the game. Gee - sure wish I had NFL Network!
  20. Sounds delicious! I'd like one, too!
  21. Only 2 penalties in the game - 1 per team. Weird.
  22. Has Sanchez had a hot dog yet?
  23. He had a 35 yard scoot against CLE. Up 'till now, his longest since the CLE game was 9 yards.
